Gowrie Clare Court
Play-based learning next to Cruickshank Park in the heart of Yarraville.
Gowrie Clare Court sits alongside expansive parklands and creek offering a learning environment that is genuinely unlike anything else.
- Nature as the classroom. With access to over 12 hectares of parkland, our Out and About Program takes children into Cruickshank Park, Stony Creek, and McNish Reserve every day, rain, hail, or shine, where children can develop their creativity, resilience, and a deep connection to Country.
- A multi-age community of learners. Children from infancy to five years explore the urban parklands together, building relationships with the environment, plants, animals, waterways and with each other.
- Wraparound support, close to home. Families are always welcome to contribute to their child’s learning journey, and on-site Maternal and Child Health services mean the support families need is always accessible.
Gowrie Clare Court is rated Exceeding under the National Quality Standards. If you are looking to enrol your child in kindergarten, this is managed through the Maribyrnong City Council.

What We Do
At Clare Court, we offer programs that nurture learning, wellbeing, and curiosity, as well as initiatives that build community and belonging. Explore some of what we do.
Out and About
Our Out and About Program connects children with their community every day by exploring local parks, shops, and other places.
Through outdoor play and learning how to care for the land, children build confidence, learn to manage risks safely, and feel more connected to their local community.
Beach Kinder
Children and educators take the bus to Williamstown Beach for hands-on learning in nature and a deeper connection to the land.
We encourage children to help make decisions, choose where to explore, and follow their natural curiosity to solve problems together.
Italian Language Program
Led by Early Childhood Teacher Clara, this program celebrates our community’s rich heritage while introducing all children to a new language.
Children learn naturally by connecting words with actions and objects, using topics like food to explore and appreciate different cultures.
